Cooperative Agreement Summary

The Department of the Army, through its Engineering and Support Center, awarded a $186,508.25 Cooperative Agreement to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) under the State Memorandum of Agreement Program for the Reimbursement of Technical Services (CFDA 12.113) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. Under this two-year cooperative agreement, MODNR will provide technical services and regulatory oversight support to the Department of Defense in connection with environmental restoration activities at DoD hazardous waste sites within Missouri. These eligible activities are authorized under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP) and specified in the signed bilateral Defense and State Memorandum of Agreement (DSMOA) between DoD and Missouri.

The technical services provided by MODNR under this award support the DERP's environmental remediation and compliance objectives, including activities such as CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act) compliance review, remediation oversight, and regulatory approvals at designated military installations. This cooperative agreement exemplifies the DSMOA program's purpose to facilitate state participation in expediting cleanup at DoD hazardous waste sites while fostering collaborative relations between state agencies, military services, and federal defense entities.
